One year of support to Nassal Paul and we've received a wonderful letter of thanks. We're really proud of how well he's doing at school and the role model he is for other children with disability. And we love seeing him so happy and empowered.
This is a simple solution - a taxi to and from school each day, total cost £8 per week. And for this, Paul gets a future.
Access to education changes everything.
You can read his letter below and his story here:

Thanks for the lovely letter Nassal Paul. Really glad you're having such a great experience at Lawsec! Keep studying hard, we're proud of you.
At a time when international development is under pressure, we're really pleased to have contributed to Uk Parliaments inquiry into the Future of UK Aid.
We welcome this inquiry, and especially the shift towards local provision. Here, we believe, lies not just the path to genuine, long term, cost-efficient change. It is also the path to regaining the British people’s trust in and engagement with international development.
